Mijatovic is only 15-years-old and he has already broken the 15-16 NAG record twice, first setting it back in August when he went 3:49.24 at the Junior Pan Pacific Championships. He also holds the 13-14 NAG record in the event.
His swim tonight marks his first time under 3:49, coming in at 3:48.95. While he is still two years away from even being eligible to break the record, he is now less than three seconds away from the 17-18 record of 3:46.08 set by Larsen Jensen back in 2004.
When he broke the record back in August, he became the only 15-16 year-old swimmer to go under 3:50 in the event coming in ahead of Larsen Jensen‘s 22 year old record of 3:50.68. He only further expanded the gap between him and the next closest swimmer ever with his swim tonight.

how does he drop at every meet
youth
Very, very impressive. What was Thorpe at 15? (Just curious; not trying to trivialize Luka’s swim)
He won Worlds in 1998 w 3:46.29 when he was 15 (and 3 months) years of age
In briefs.
3:44.35
How rude, you’re comparing a swimmer to Thorpe, what an insult
Under 3:50 before you can drive yourself to practice is crazy.
And another one
Sigma sigma bly sigma boy sigma boy
Yeah he’s making the trials final this year
I remember Larsen’s first Mile swim. He went a 17:30, and later that summer he went a 16:30. By the next summer we went to Western Zones and he went like 8:05 in the 800. The Progression was crazy.
